John Singer Sargent was an Italian-American painter born in the mid-1800s in Florence. He lived until the beginning of the century. Known for his unique style as a portrait painter he is considered “the leading portrait painter of his generation”. He produced over 900 oil paintings and 2000 watercolors during his lifetime in the most beautiful and picturesque cities of the world such as Venice, Florence, Corfu, and Florida. Sargent’s Watercolors have given us a priceless heritage of knowledge, thanks to his interpretation of reality. Although Sargent was initially more interested in landscapes, he soon found that portraiture was the best way to make a name for himself in the art world. His portraits were highly sought after by the upper class, and he quickly became one of the most in-demand portrait painters of his generation. His watercolors are still used by all painters – apprentices and not – to improve the understanding of reality and its chromatic manifestation.
